EDIT: This is totally not that documentary. It just looks as if it could be, if the documentary airing tonight was beaten with a baseball bat and then forced through sound-glitch Hell. If you were duped, I am sorry.

Uh, to my knowledge - which on this subject is limited - torture was not used in this trial to elicit confessions. Social stresses existed, certainly. But I thought the trial was seen as an aberration due to the lack of torture.

One of the commentators seems to imply that it was used, and the idea that spirits were real or thought of as real at that time was not addressed, either.
